Rebuilding of destroyed historical quarters of Kyiv: a theoretical model
DOI: https://doi.org/10.3846/jau.2026.24719Abstract
The article aims to study the destroyed historical quarters of Kyiv and form a theoretical model for their rebuilding. We identified the peculiarity of Kyiv’s historical quarters’ destruction, which, over the last three years of war, has undergone a layering of simultaneous one on the temporal, significantly intensifying the negative impact. It requires a more complex methodological intervention in their rebuilding, with the elimination of the consequences of simultaneous destruction and the causes and problems of temporal destruction at the same time. The studied quarters were classified, and the identified features help to understand their potential and form an individual intervention strategy, affecting the possibility of using specific methods and techniques in their rebuilding. The proposed theoretical model of rebuilding destroyed historical quarters of Kyiv is a tool for a holistic and comprehensive solution to the problem, shows the possibility and effectiveness of combinations of various restorative and reconstructive methods, supplemented by specific techniques for different systemic levels of intervention, which we recommende to use depending on the initial existing state of these quarters, the determined degrees of their destruction and historical-architectural value. The proposed concept for rebuilding the destroyed quarter in Kyiv’s Holosiivskyi district effectively illustrates its potential.
